Once a century, the coven of the sleepy town of Berkshire play a Halloween game, a sadistic contest with its own rules and etiquette.

Smashwords book reviews by S.E. Casey

  • Flora & Jim on July 12, 2019

    The world has froze, animals have dwindled down to super predators, and food is scarce unless you really, really lower your standards. While Flora & Jim is a post-apocalyptic novel, the focus here is on the relationship between father and daughter. What won't Jim do for daughter, Flora? What actions will he use his daughter to justify? Is anything off-limits ethically? And if not, what is the cost to his daughter who is growing up too fast... Well paced, plenty of tension, splashes of humor. I enjoyed this, kept the pages turning.
